Well, Alice came along
When I needed somethin' strong
And there's two ways that could go for a man like me
She saw me reachin'
Reached me just in time
To save me from my insanity

And I could
See it in those Alice eyes
I'd be sure and steady
Just like a child
Every morning when I wake up
Knowing that my light still shines
Well, I can see it in those Alice eyes

A woman has a way
Of knowing what to say
And smoothing out the edges over time
Well, I tried to do my part
I walked beside her in the dark
And tried to let her know that she was mine

And I could
See it in those Alice eyes
I'd be sure and steady just
Like a child
Every mornin' when I wake up
Knowing that my light still shines
Well, I can see it in those Alice eyes

Well, I don't make it easy sometimes
But I don't have to wonder
Who'd be there by my side

Now she's gone
I don't know how I'll carry on
She's the one I reach for every time
She was always there through the years she always cared
And now I'm drifting
I'm alone and blind

And I could
See it in those Alice eyes
I'd be sure and steady just
Like a child
Every mornin' when I wake up
Knowing that my light still shines
Well, I can see it in those Alice eyes
Yeah, I could see it in those Alice eyes
